maritime history - Gert Jan Bestebreurtje

The captain was rescued, and reported all others were lost, when a number were still
on board. They showed themselves to the lifesaving service from time to time, and
many were saved. The Bowaniong was wrecked in a storm in the Indian Ocean in
1807. - (A few leaves trimmed close at the bottom, one with the loss of a line of
text).
